Subject: Coordinates 2.4.3 - Planetary Surface Coordinate Calculator
Coordinates is an application that transforms geodetic and Cartesian
coordinates. It will make the conversions from Geodetic latitude,
longitude and heights to planet centered Cartesian coordinates and vice
versa. Works for various planetary ellipsoids, including user defined
ellipsoids.
Additionally, Coordinates will also compute long geodesic lines on the
ellipsoid. Given a starting latitude and longitude, a distance and a
direction, Coordinates will compute the location of the end point. Also,
it will compute the geodesic length and directions between two points of
known latitude and longitude.
Documentation of algorithms used accompanies the application.
Coordinates is offered as freeware. May be distributed. Functions on PPC
under OS8.5 and later. Not optimized for OS X.
